Windsor Man Fulfills Life Long Dream

A teacher at Massey High School in Windsor has fulfilled a life long dream.

Jim Beland has watched a game at all 30 Major League Baseball parks.

Beland told AM800's 'The Morning Drive' he finished the list last Wednesday when he watched the Padres play the Giants at Petco Park.

Beland says it took 12 years and it adds up in more ways than one. "Well you know there's a lot of money and a lot of calories, park foods are not low in calories. Just a lot of good times along the way, a lot of road trips."

After visiting every baseball park in the big league, Beland has listed his favourites. "Well my favourite one is in Pittsburgh. The skyline there is fantastic and the park is really unique. And a very, very close one is San Francisco. The bay - you may remember that Barry Bonds used to hit home runs into the bay sometimes so that's a really unique thing."
